First, although RWmultitool provides several safeguards, it is possible to overrwrite original theme images with new edited versions, so you should always work on a copy of the theme second, if you’re as cautious as we are, use the Save Image command when you’re done – rather than Save in Theme – to ensure that all’s present and correct with the edited image before bringing it back into the theme to use in your designs. You can also add multiple single lines of text to the image using any font installed on your system. Anything added like this can be sized and rotated, you can control the transparency, add a border or drop shadow, as well as applying one of 30-plus image filter effects or 24 masks make a mistake and you can delete a layer and start again. You can position the logo wherever you like on the image, use one of the preset placements (centre, top, left right and so on) and make sure any additional images you might add line up neatly using the snap-to-grid feature.

Select one of the theme’s image from a second drop down list – say a header – and then add your company logo by dragging it off the desktop and onto the image. Load up Rapidweaver, pick a theme to work with and duplicate it, then select that duplicated theme from the RWmultitool theme list.

RWmultitool from long-time theme developer Multithemes is something of an oddity in the Rapidweaver world – an addon that’s neither a plug-in, nor a stack, nor a theme, but instead RWmultitool is a utility that lets you edit images (or at least some of the images) inside Rapidweaver themes as such, it was extremely useful back when themes didn’t offer so many ways to change their look and feel.
